This invention relates to ventilating systems more particularly adapted for use within houses and the like.

An object of the invention comprehends a collecting and dischargemember.

Another object of the invention contemplates the provision of inletand discharge pipes for the chamber.

A further object of the invention embodies w the employment and arrangement of fan or blower members within the inlet pipes and chamber to draw the heated air from the ceiling of a room and to circulate same uniformly throughout the entire area of the 1 particular room.

More specifically stated the chamber is mission of fresh air will be facilitated.

WVith the above and other objects in View, 3; the invention further consists of the following novel features and details of construe tion, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of the chamber illustrating the connection of the inlet a and discharge pipes therewith;

Figure 2 is an end elevation of the inven- 30 131011. j

' Figure 3 is a detail sectional View taken through the meeting and adjacent portions of the chamber and inlet pipes.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view taken through the chamber.

Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character indicates generally a chamber or housing having a box or other compartment, such as indicated at 11', communicating with the interior thereof at one end.

Sleeve portions 12, carried by and laterally projecting from the box or compartment 11 upon diametrically opposite sides thereof, are adapted for connection with elbow fittings 13 joined with oppositely. located inlet pipes 14 and 15 respectively.

Partitions or walls 16, vertically disposed 50 in parallelism within the box 11, expose the ment of the fan members or blowers and the longitudinal sectional View shown in Figuretof the drawings. A door or 010 sure, such. as indic'atedflat 17, ishingedly mounted,as at 18, upon the outermost end of'the box or compartment 11 to control 60. the ingress of fresh air through the compartmentor passage '19 as defined between the adjacent sides of the partition walls 16. Fan members or blowers 20, carried byYand arranged withinthe'elbow fittings 13 of the inlet pipes 14 and 15 respectively, are pri provided with an air inlet whereby the admarily] designed T to create suction through the inlet pipesito draw-.the heated air collecting adjacent the ceiling vof the room through register: plates 21 upon the floor of theroom; l r, v i

1 A relativelylarge fan member 22included within the housing or compartment 10 and havingthe. centerlithereof axially aligned with relation to the passageway 19. as defined between the adjacent wallsfof the partition members 16, is. adapted to draw the air as admitted by the fan members or blowers 20 and compress same within the remaining portion or area of the housing for subscquentv discharge through exlt or discharge pipes 23;- The latter mentioned pipes are in communication witlr register plates 24 remotely disposed with relation to the regis t er plates 21 as shown in Figure 1 of the drawings, whereby the heated air at the ceiling of the room may be drawn downwardly the-rein througl-r the register "plates 21, the inlet pipes l land 15, the elbows 13 therefor into the compartment or housing 10 and backwardly through the exit or discharge pipes 23. By such means the temperature within the room will be kept constant throughout the entire area thereof.

Then using the present form or system, in schools, auditoriums and the like, the air may be changed therein without opening the windows by reversing the direction ofrmoveopening the door or closure 17 whereby fresh air may be admitted.

The present invention could also be effectively employed as a cooling system during the summer months.

It is to be noted that the ventilating system will make use of the heat in the room innumerable times whereby a substantial saving in the consumption of fuel will be noticeable.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction, and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:

1. A ventilating system comprising a compartment including a housing upon one end thereof and in communication therewith, sleeve portions carried by and laterally projecting from diametrically opposite sides of the housing, partition walls carried within the housing defining a passageway therebetween and restricting pressure interference between the sleeve portions, elbow fittings carried by the: sleeve portions, inlet pipes I having connection with the elbow fittings,

discharge pipes having direct connection with the compartment, and fan members included within the elbow fittings and compartment to facilitate the circulation of air I through the pipes and compartment.

2. A ventilating system comprising a compartment including a housing upon one end thereof and in communication therewith, sleeve portions carried by and laterally projecting from diametrically opposite sides of the housing, partition walls carried within the housing defining a passageway therebetween and restricting pressure interference between the sleeve portions, elbow fittings carried by the sleeve portions, inlet pipes having connection with the elbow fittings, discharge pipes having direct connection with the compartment, and a closure plate carried upon the outer portion of the housing adjacent one end of the passageway therein. I In testimony whereof we affix our signatures. v
